LaC Day - Compilers Lab Workshop

Date: October 8th, 2026
Location: ICEx 2077

Belo Horizonte is a major software hub in Latin America, hosting major development offices of companies such as Google, Cadence, Accenture, and Amazon. This ecosystem has helped foster a vibrant compiler community in the city. Belo Horizonte is home to UFMG's Compilers Lab (LaC), as well as at least two industrial compiler development teams at Cadence Design Systems (Jasper and XNNC). In addition, several LaC graduates now work at specialized companies doing compiler development, including OneTeam, Igalia, Endor Labs, Celera.AI, and others.

In this one-day workshop, we will discuss some of these projects and experiences, bringing together academic research and cutting-edge industrial compiler development.

Participation is very limited (the room is small and food is finite!) Thus, students interested in attending the workshop must fill up this form.
